What SCP: The Beginning is
SCP: The Beginning was released in 2026. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unreal Engine 5.
The premise, in the publisher's words
A first-person survival horror game set inside a collapsing containment facility. Explore restricted sectors, read unreliable reports, and survive hostile entities where following procedures can be just as deadly as breaking them.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action and horror. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-11320H, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 5GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
